boat fishing the channel isle

[RAPID7LIAM 7]

Getting picked up at midnight to make the long journey from the north east down to poole harbour on the south coast where we ( 8 of us) will be boarding Oberon skippered by John Keggie then heading of across the channel to Alderney where we will be staying for 7 days and fishing for every one of them for numerous species of fish.

 

Anybody else out there done much fishing over that way, it's been booked for over a year and i cant wait now, had no sleep all night thinking about it, cheers, Liam.,.

It's not the cheapast trip i've been on but we,ve been all over with this skipper for the last 8/9 year, Poole a couple of times, Oban about 9 times, and Troon, now he's moved back down south we had to give it a bash, been booked over a year so plenty time to pay for it.

We got some lovely bass off Poole about 6 year ago and they say Alderney is great for Bass, hopefully get a shot at the tope plus many more.

The same trip we got the bass we also got some good ling and one of the lads got a 58lbs conger, now he's 6ft 3 and when he held it up with it's head near his it's tail was still trailing on the deck, awsome fight, got it on video somewhere aswell.

 

John Keggie on Oberon is well worth booking if anyone is fancying a good trip out, cheers, Liam..

cracking fish there mate

 

Thanks mate,

 

Never miss, we fished the banks for Turbot on the tuesday and only had 3 on board all day, another charter boat out there got 17 the following day and reckoned their biggest was 17lbs (some Turbot that mate) so we tried an hour on the way back in on the thurs and i got the only one around 2 lbs, could of went out and hammered the double figure cod every day but we just got a few to bring home as it's pointless killing them just for the sake of a freezer full of fish, i'd much prefere to catch and release once i have a couple for the table, Liam..
